RE: How We Got Paid $$$$ To Plant Fruit and Nut Trees in Our Food Forest

in #ecotrain8 years ago

That looks fantastic.

We're too far north for a lot of that, but we are planning to grow what we can. I imagine it will be mostly apples, plums, apricots, berries and I think hazelnuts and a few other nut trees are possible.

that's awesome! where are you located? have you heard of seaberries? aka sea buckthorn? you may find success with that as well :D

We are just off the Alaska Highway in British Columbia. It's a hardiness zone 2, but we can pull off a three in our little town because of the lake.

I have heard of seabuckthorn, but don't know anything about it. I'll look it up for sure now.

awesome! here's a good post written about it by another canadian:
